Our home in Toulouse

I am more and more convinced that if you keep at it, things will happen. As with Mexico, we were a bit discouraged about finding a place to live that we could afford in Toulouse. Not only is the dollar very week, but prices in the city seemed high and every contact we made seemed to be farther and farther out of our price range. However, a young Ph.D. student at Berkley, who is French seemed to respond well to us and to our pleas. She has offered us her little studio. It will be small, but, after all, we are in France. As you can tell from the photos, it is small, but looks have a lovely balcony where Ariane says she eats most of her meals. It is about 20 minutes walk from the center of town, but seems to have a very nice little neighborhood around it, and is about 5 minutes from the Canal de Brienne and then on to the Garonne River. We are obviously very excited, and thought we would share the pictures with you.

I am still working with Blogspot, so the order is not as I might choose them, but it does give you some sense of the place, from all 4 walls.
